Description:
When encrypting and decrypting a particular string I get a null value. If I change the string or the encryption password it works fine. This is used in a live system so I cannot change the encryption password used.

How to repeat:
select AES_ENCRYPT('01','$%^&*()!1709748H1gHT3nS10n'), AES_DECRYPT('¶áEo	…
ñ”‘½4ö¹', '$%^&*()!1709748H1gHT3nS10n');

Suggested fix:
No idea.

Binary strings not always can be input in command line correctly.

Use SELECT AES_ENCRYPT('01','$%^&*()!1709748H1gHT3nS10n'), AES_DECRYPT(AES_ENCRYPT('01','$%^&*()!1709748H1gHT3nS10n'),'$%^&*()!1709748H1gHT3nS10n'); instead.
